Gold Dust, Clementine Was Right, Em Grace & the Undercuts

Childhoods on Iowa farms: feeding the cows, baling alfalfa, family secrets, and riverside fishing. These make up the songs and stories from Chicago-based Gold Dust. The collective’s debut album, Andalusia, features a coalescence of rural ballads and fervent tracks realized through a specific country haze.

Clementine Was Right is the songwriting project of poets Mike Young and Gion Davis. Chronicling years of uprooting—from Northern California to New England, Alaska to New Mexico—the music gallops and sways through hook-smeared bootgaze and western emo, queering the lineage of "country music" with yokel fuzz.

Em Grace & the Undercuts are a rebellious queer force from Chicago, IL blending punk rock with the electric baritone ukulele. Those who listen to our music have said our sound is a lot like X Ray Spex, Hop Along, Brittany Howard, Garbage, and Screaming Females. Their songs touch on things like attachment styles, addiction, queerness, self love, grief, body neutrality, consent and sexuality.

Em Grace's powerhouse vocals bring emotions to the surface you thought were buried and brings a burlesque flair to each performance. Em Grace & The Undercuts (Rachael, Sage, and Jess) bring on the entertainment and will have the crowd dancing, laughing and crying.
